by Blanca Rosa Gutiérrez
Faced unexpectedly with Lyme Disease, Spanish Architect Blanca Rosa Gutiérrez must face illness and abandonment, while at the same time trying to take care of her two small children. She struggles to find help and treatment from doctors, until the combination of finding the right physician, and an iron will to overcome adversity through meditation and non traditional healing, puts her back on the road to full health. As the author says in her own words: "I wrote this book with a single purpose in mind: make it into a song of hope for anybody who is ill and feels defeated by pain, and have lost the will to live." This book is not about illness, is about recovery and new beginnings

Te comeré el corazón
by Asbel Hernández
Una vez más, Asbel Hernández me toma por sorpresa. Leo sus historias y es inevitable sentir su aspereza y su enorme fuerza narrativa. Es una literatura cruel. Una prosa despiadada que es capaz de colocar en la superficie de una letra, de cualquier palabra, de una frase trivial, todo el dolor que acompaña al verdadero amor. Al amor por un hombre, al amor de una madre, al amor de una hija. al hambre de amor. Con su ya conocido estilo provocador, Asbel nos obliga en este libro a replantear nuestro concepto de familia al mostrarnos su compleja fragilidad anclada en el discurso cultural alentando roles que nada tienen que ver con el amor. Asbel desnuda en su literatura a La Maternidad exponiendo sus lealtades y mentiras, las dependencias. Sus demandas nunca satisfechas. Por sus páginas desfilan todas las Medeas y Clitemnestras, todos los destinos posibles enfrentados a las tristes fuerzas de poder que se juegan al interior de la familia. Cierro el libro y pregunto en silencio: ¿Me quieres, mamá? María Esther Núñez

Nori e Eu
by NINOMIYA, SONIA | NINOMIYA, MASANORI
Nori&Eu; is a project with three voices. Caeto, a Brazilian author of comics and an illustrator, is the editor and brings together two versions of one family’s story: the narrative of Sonia and her son Massanori, or Nori. Sonia tells her story beginning with the birth of Massanori, the difficulties in diagnosing her autistic son, his relationships with the other siblings, family, school and friends. A story of love and dedication, but full of prejudice and difficulties as well. Moving and dramatic. Massanori in turn, a student in Caeto’s drawing course and author of mangas (fanzines), tells his story in a peculiar manner, circumscribed by world events. As explained by his mother: “I perceive my son’s mind as a compendium relating facts and dates, today not only limited to Disney related subjects or super heroes, but historical facts, cultural landmarks and family stories that he finds in books, encyclopedias and by talking with family members… It’s his security blanket.”

May 2017Cat Power
La toma de la Tierra
by Cecilia Palmeiro
Rorro the cat (of extraterrestrial origin) writes about a character named “Godmother,” a shopping center goddess, connoisseur of international lovers, queer militant, and synthetic drug partier who he unscrupulously calls “CONICET Bureaucrat,” and who he outs as a thief, judging himself as the author of the book, Desbunde y felicidad: attributed to the top critic Cecilia Palmeiro. Rorro’s project? Taking over Earth to invent The Clowder Future. The book’s plot is insane, full of designer orgies, semi-legal trips under the guise of research grants, and hangovers as frequent as the dicks Godmother runs through. But it’s also a radical critique of how humans live, a catty, feminist investigation. María Moreno

Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)June 2019TELL
by Martín Lombardo
Once upon a time… the Tell universe, a universe that is presented to us in multiple intertwined dimensions, and in which the characters intersect in paths of thought and action. In a transition between written language and visual language, the novel reconstructs the relationship between life and art, so that the action breaks down into reality and warns us that we live in it. On the one hand, we are introduced to a 60 years-old filmmaker who revisits his life. Despite not having the last name Tell, he wonders if he is a descendant of the mythical Swiss hero, William Tell. On the other hand, there is a young man trying to piece together an endless puzzle in which, in exchange for a fee, he finds himself aroused by his own desires. And also, there is a mysterious feminine presence around which all stories are forged, as the origin and end of the real and the mythical. Read, see, and dare to ask yourself: Am I a Tell?

Infancia y abandono en la Barcelona del siglo XV
by Ximena Illanes Zubieta
Este libro explica cómo fue el abandono de niñas y niños en la Barcelona del siglo XV, deteniéndose en tres etapas esenciales: la escena del abandono, el cuidado de los lactantes en manos de nodrizas y el aprendizaje en casas ajenas. En cada fase se revisan las condiciones de integración y marginación, la presencia de lo femenino y los relatos de amores y desamores. Las historias que aquí se recogen permiten comprender las diferentes dimensiones del abandono, acto que involucraba no solo a los infantes expuestos, sino también a su entorno. Los niños en su mayoría eran abandonados en las puertas del Hospital de la Santa Creu de Barcelona durante las horas menos transitadas para evitar el juicio social. Las cartas que acompañaban a los infantes reflejan el drama de la pobreza y, por ende, la incapacidad forzosa de las madres para asumir el rol de la crianza. Al reconstruir el contexto de la época, el lector tiene la posibilidad de realizar un ejercicio de empatía que vuelve el foco de atención al presente. Es inevitable percibir las duras realidades que se mantienen a lo largo del tiempo y el casi irreparable sufrimiento que causa la soledad en los primeros años de vida.

The Light in Isabel's Eyes
by Edmée Pardo
Four characters cross paths in a hospital: a woman about to give birth; a family facing the inexplicable death of one of their own; a man who falls ill; and a teenager persecuted among hundreds of women in an oppressive town. Their life is intertwined with secondary characters with whom they mix as they walk towards their separate destinies. In a violent city in the middle of the desert, death, birth, love, pain, and revenge are joined by the shadow of God or maybe by the shadow casted by his absence. Weaved in a net of actions that develops at full speed through a clean and poetic prose, this is a story that hurts and heals at the same time. This novel speaks of God and Spirit, of inner strength and emptiness, of solitude and communion, also of hope.

Health & Personal Development
5h 21m
by Gabriela Couturier
5h 21m is a literary essay that reflects upon running and marathons, trying to answer essential questions, such as: why and to what purpose does a person put on a pair of sneakers and runs. This is not a training manual or a book about the techniques of long distance running. Using running as a prop, the author talks about issues of youth, health, travels, and death. This is also an excercise in creative writing, and how it intersects with certain types of athletic pursuits. Also, the title refers to the 5 hours and 21 minutes which were the authors first registered time running the marathon’s distance of 26.2 miles.
